Hosting on Live!

nintenjo · 30 Nov 2006 at 20:17

I can never seem to host game sessions on xbox live on the 360.. My mate who has no router can join.. and i can join his. However if other with routers try and join they cant.. How can i setup my router to allow hosting?

I have a NTL 4MB Cable BB
D-Link 642 Wired (which is Xbox live! supported )

Ive forwarded the basic live ports.. but still dosnt help.. Anyone else?

Try sticking the 360's IP on the DMZ list.

Infact i remeber now why the DMZ screwedup.. it used to kill my downloads from the market place early and wouldnt resume.. with no reason i managed to fix it by disableing the DMZ..

Very annoying

but the DMZ effectivly puts your 360 directly on the net with no interferance from firewalls or ports etc. it would be as if it were connected directly to the net, so it shouldn't mess anything up??

Well i think somthing wierd is happening.. if i put my PC in the DMZ things like MSN dont work properly and Games like AOE3 tell me that the PORT it wants is already in use.. And the 360 stil ldosnt seem to like hosting..
